ACS Hong Kong has a great first quarter

May 26, 2010 - PRLog -- Air Charter Service’s Hong Kong office has had a record first quarter. All of ACS’s ten worldwide offices have enjoyed a successful first quarter of the year, but Hong Kong in particular has thrived.

Gavin Copus, Director ACS Hong Kong, said: “The charter market here in Asia is booming at the moment. Private jet charterers in this region seem to have learnt from the U.S. and Europeans’ mistakes when it comes to JetCards and fractional ownership. They realise that ad-hoc chartering is more flexible and normally more economical, and that is what we offer. These other schemes require large up front down-payments and, aside from restricting you to one type of aircraft, are calculated so that the supplier does not lose money on the block hours.

“We had a great 2009, but we’ve seen incredible growth in the first three months of this year. With sales in excess of US$ 2.6 million in what is traditionally the quiet part of the year is a great achievement, and all credit goes to my team, who have worked exceptionally hard.”

In recent weeks finding solutions for our customers affected by the volcanic ash cloud in Northern Europe has been our main focus. By the time Europe woke up to the news on Thursday 15th April, we had already been working on ideas to help our customers, including flying into southern Europe as soon as possible.”

Air Charter Service enjoyed a fantastic 2009 across its ten offices having its record year. The company operated over 4,000 flights on private jets charters, commercial airline charters and cargo charters.
